Name change
Does anyone have info on the (non-Chinese language) name change from People's University to the transliterated Renmin University? --57.80.136.6
- Good question. I'd love to know too. --Dpr
Because Renmin in chinese means People... but it's only a name, so renmin seems better, just like the name of Fudan University i, Fudan is better than Reborn...

Needs more info about the historical role
Renmin University has played an incredibly important role in China historically - the first national university after the foundation of the PRC, and also one of the few that taught economics and political science to the elites during the pre-cultural revolution period. Ruth Hayhoe has written about this both in China's universities and the open door (chap 2), and China's universities from 1895-1995 (chap 3). Houshuang (talk) 18:30, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
"RUC possesses the strongest reputation in humanities and social sciences"
I removed this sentence from the intro. It's not even clear what it means (the strongest in China? the world?), and it was cited from a page on the university's own website. -Elmer Clark (talk) 13:36, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
